The Barbz will finally get a chance to enter the gates of ‘Gag City’ as Nicki Minaj launches her tour today (March 1). The ‘Pink Friday 2’ world tour kicks off in Oakland, California — just under three months after the album’s release.
Keep scrolling to see what the Queen Barb has been up to leading up to the ‘Pink Friday 2’ tour.
Nicki kicked off the excitement by showing her Instagram and X following how Dolce & Gabbana came through ahead of the tour! The luxury fashion house designed a custom black T-shirt to compliment Nicki’s lyrics in the song ‘FTCU.’ They also custom-designed accessories for the Head Barb, such as sunglasses and hoop earrings! She expressed her gratitude in posts on Feb. 29.
“AMORE @dolcegabbana @piergiorgio.meschini. Thank you for this ICONIC TSHIRT, custom shades & all the other custom pieces. Soooo thankful. #GAGCity,” she wrote on Instagram.
Dolce’s Piergiorgio Meschini also appeared in a video alongside Nicki, confirming the pieces are one-of-one and for the “Barbie” only!
Peep their interaction below.
Aside from collecting custom pieces, Minaj has been largely focused on preparing to take the stage as a tour headliner for the first time since her 2016 ‘The Pinkprint Tour.’
In February, she shared snippets of herself at rehearsals and even a sneak peek at the Gag City stage set-up and songs that might make the tour cut.
Nicki Minaj has also been adding dates to the highly-anticipated tour, both in the U.S. and abroad. She shared the most updated list of cities she’ll be touring in on X on Feb. 29. So far, she has 56 shows on the tour, with multi-shows in some cities and a note of “more dates to be added.”
